Food in bar was excellent, noise in the corridors from other residents morning and night horrendous, no respect for others. Hotels should crack down on this as it certainly puts other off from staying again

Staff friendly and atmosphere was good. Room a little dated & no complimentary water which I would consider a basic requirement in a hotel room.
